Kit Digital · No upfront VAT
Kit Digital without upfront VAT
With invoicing from the Canary Islands you don't advance the 21% VAT on your Kit Digital: you self-assess it in your VAT return instead of paying it out of pocket. Here's how it really works, no fine print.
Kit Digital is the Spanish government's aid programme (NextGenerationEU funds) to digitalize your business: website, online store, social media and more. The voucher never covers VAT — that's in the rules — but there is a legal way to avoid advancing it. We explain it with full transparency, including the part other websites prefer to skip.

What is Kit Digital?
It's a digital voucher funded by NextGenerationEU and managed by Red.es, regulated by Order ETD/1498/2021 as updated by Order TDF/39/2026. It covers digitalization solutions by segment: up to €3,000 for freelancers and micro-businesses, €6,000 (3-9 employees), €12,000 (10-49) and €25,000-29,000 for mid-sized companies. As of July 2026 all calls are closed, so this page mainly applies if you already hold a voucher or are in the automatic second-chance queue.
How the 'VAT-free' really works (no fine print)
The mechanism is the reverse charge: when the provider invoices from the Canary Islands (outside the VAT territory) to a mainland or Balearic business, the invoice carries no VAT and you self-assess it in your VAT return. For most SMEs this is tax-neutral — the VAT is declared and deducted in the same return — so the 21% doesn't 'disappear': what you gain is cash flow, because you never advance it. On a €3,000 project that's €630 that never leaves your account. If your company can't deduct 100% of VAT (exempt activities), part of it would be a real cost — you should know that before signing. Anyone selling this as 'free VAT' is not being straight with you.

Kit Digital without upfront VAT — FAQs
Is the 'VAT-free' Kit Digital legal?
Yes. It's the standard reverse-charge mechanism: a Canary-based company invoices mainland clients without VAT and the client self-assesses the tax in their VAT return. It's tax law, not a trick; what's misleading is selling it as if VAT vanished.
So do I save the 21% or not?
It depends. If you deduct 100% of your VAT (most SMEs), the effect is tax-neutral and the advantage is cash flow: you never advance that 21%. If you have limited deduction rights, part of that VAT would have been a real cost, so there is actual saving. We'll run the numbers for your case.
Can I apply for Kit Digital right now?
No: all five calls are closed as of July 2026 and Red.es has no plans to open new ones. This page applies if you already hold a voucher, or if your application was rejected for lack of funds and you're in the automatic second-chance queue under Order TDF/39/2026.
